If there's one thing the representatives in the EU aren't going to do... it is cut the gross domestic product of their countries by huge slices.
Crazy people lobby for crazy things all the time... not many of them come to fruition.

Exactly what I was thinking.

The Prius can actually break 100 but is electronically limited to 105. I believe the only car that can't go 100mph today is the H1 Hummer.

I wouldn't even dignify the EU by calling them/it "socialism-based". Mildly put, I think the EU follows a pure evil itinerary that's partially inherited from the Third Reich's agenda -- a unified Europe that suppresses all the "none compliant" cultures.
It reminds me a bit of the so-called outsourcing that's currently going on here in the US -- where not only the mom & paps businesses go down the drain, but also entire towns and counties.
Again, I'm kind of proud of my fellow Norwegians who voted NO (twice) to join the EU -- at least they got one thing right.

Funny how this facist stuff keeps coming around again and again.

apparently even a prius will do over 100mph. that's the speed Al Gore's son was driving when he got nailed with pot, valium, xanex, pain meds, etc. last week. maybe he was going downhill.
as for the legislation? i think germany would withdraw from the EU before they signed up for THAT piece of crap.
